Sunbird Pinjang Hostel

 I am deeply thankful to the Learn for Life Foundation. Earlier, our school and hostel were made of bamboo and pieces of aluminum panels, and during the rainy season we were afraid to send our children there. Now, thanks to Learn for Life and Sunbird, the new Vianney Friendship School and Hostel has been built. It’s a wonderful school and hostel, and we parents are very happy. My two children, in kindergarten and 5thgrade are happy to go to school every day. Thank you very much.

History

Located among rolling hills, Pinjang Village is situated in the south-western hill regions of Manipur under the Khoupum Sub division in Noney District. About 600 people (around 75 families), primarily from the Rongmei Naga tribe, inhabit the place. Almost all the residents are subsistence farmers cultivating paddy, bananas and chillies. The average family size is around 4-5 members. The average annual income of a family is approximately Rs.50,000 - 60,000 which makes most families belong to the BPL (Below Poverty Line) category. The beautiful Leimatak River that courses through the village is a major water source for the entire population. Pinjang Village has a history of violence. It is located at the heart of a conflict-affected area and many people from in and around the village have been killed in the Kuki-Naga violence of the 1990s.

The budget for the construction of the Sunbird Pinjang Freindship School was approximately USD 64,000 (INR 48 Lacs). The budget for the construction of a hostel for students from remote villages was USD 20,000 (INR 15 Lacs). The Sunbird Network and Friends in the USA raised the amount required in less than 30 days and the construction projects were  completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
